Boxing Day football: the perfect antidote to familial over-saturation. Gary Lineker returns to present highlights from all the Premier League action, including Manchester City’s clash with Everton and Liverpool’s meeting with Leicester City.
Tottenham Hotspur, fresh off six consecutive league victories against Nottingham Forest, aimed to extend their winning streak. Meanwhile, London rivals Chelsea and Fulham squared off in a derby guaranteed to generate sparks—or at least a few yellow cards. For those needing a break from Christmas leftovers and strained family conversations, “Match of the Day” provides the ideal escape.
